Consensus Decision-Making
Guest Speaker: Peter Scales, Capital Unitarian Universalist Congregation (Victoria BC)

Twenty years ago, when the Capital Unitarian Universalist Congregation (Victoria BC) was rent by divergent visions of how to get along, one of the members brought forward a model of consensus that Capital has been using with great effect ever since. By giving the voting members four ways of saying ‘yes’, the Gradients of Agreement model promotes smarter decisions and greater openness. Peter will be speaking to us at our service and at a special workshop about how Capital UU in Victoria successfully uses the Gradients of Agreement to do a better job of reaching a consensus.
